Chapter 410: The Heart of the People

Such a sum of money is absolutely amazing. This is not a batch, but delivered directly to everyone, every commoner, and if it is added up, it is not a small amount. You know, a catty of miscellaneous spirit rice, even if an ordinary person eats it openly, can last for a day, no matter how big the appetite is, fifty catties of miscellaneous spirit rice can last for more than a month. If you save some food and boil it into rice porridge, let alone a month, even two or three months can last.

There is also five catties of beast meat, eating it can strengthen the body. Eating it is undoubtedly a great tonic. This kind of beast meat is very precious, and usually only the middle and high-level people in the village can eat it.

There is also cloth, this piece of cloth must not be small, it should be able to cut out a decent new dress.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are inseparable.

This takes up food and clothing.

For such a large amount of necessary supplies, if Baiyang Village came by itself, the inventory in Baiyang Village could be wiped out in one go. It might not even be enough. What an amazing handwriting. This is especially true when it is taken out in this chaotic world.

A place suitable for planting all kinds of rice grains, at present, only Xuanhuang Town has the strength to plant on a large scale. For other villages, even after they are stabilized, only a small part of them are planted, and they need to be guarded at all times to prevent them from being destroyed. It can only be planted in small batches, which is not even enough for one's own food, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone. It still needs to be planted in the village.

Once it is planted outside, it will be completely destroyed before it can be harvested.

Only Xuanhuang Town can produce food in large quantities and continuously.

This kind of benefit that fell from the sky made Bai Hai and Bai Lang look happy and shocked.

"Bai Yang, the head of Baiyang Village, thanked the head of Yi Town for his benevolent hand. I, Baiyang Village, naturally remember this kind deed. Open the city gate and let all the people go and get their respective supplies." At this moment, I only saw, A middle-aged man in a white robe walked up the city wall. This man had a jade-like complexion and exuded a refined demeanor. There is an aura of majesty on his body.

This is the aura that naturally develops after often taking power.

Majesty depends on raising, and it cannot be pretended.

Only when the master is in charge of great power and is in charge of one side of water and soil, can one develop a magnanimity.

"It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Baiyang."

Wu Yong nodded with a smile and said.

After some pleasantries, there was no other action, and the city gate was opened.

A citizen of Baiyang Village came out along the city gate one after another, with hope and anticipation on their faces.

It can be seen that the faces of these common people are still pale. They may not be yellow and thin, but it can also be seen that there should not be many times when they can eat enough.

"Come, come, come, come here to register and get supplies,"

Immediately, someone began to greet, followed by the people from Wanbaodian. Deliver supplies.

It uses a space bag and a storage bag to hold it. Although the space of each interspatial bag is not very large, the number is quite large. In the past, Yi Tianxing harvested storage bags and dimensional bags in the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference. There were hundreds or even thousands of them.

Added together, the amount of materials carried at one time can be said to be quite amazing.

Someone took out the storage bag directly, and after opening it, a large amount of supplies appeared in front of them.

Bags of miscellaneous spirit rice, a large amount of fresh beast meat. There are batches of cloth.

The first commoner quickly stepped forward.

"My name is Liu Sangou, can I really get food and cloth here?" A man stepped forward with some nervousness and asked.

"Okay, just register here, and then you can get the supplies." Wu Yong said with a smile.

"OK."

When Liu Sangou heard it, he nodded quickly in agreement.

Then, according to the procedures, after registration, immediately, a set of supplies was delivered to him without any accidents, a small bag of miscellaneous spirit rice, a piece of fresh beast meat, and a piece of fabric enough to be cut into a piece of clothing. When these materials are received,

He also felt as if he was in a dream.

It feels unreal.

But holding the rice, Bupi's hand was steady, and he didn't want to let go at all.

People who have never been hungry will not understand this thing.

"I can really receive supplies, food, and beast meat. The head of Xuanhuang Town is really a great virtue."

"Yes, I've heard it a long time ago. Xuanhuang Town is the best gathering place for human races within a radius of ten thousand miles. I don't know how many people yearn for it. According to legend, everyone in the town can practice. There is also a Sutra Pavilion, where anyone can go in and choose skills and combat skills. To become a monk, I don’t know how many people envy them to death.”

"Great, my clothes should have been changed a long time ago, they are almost torn and out of shape, but let alone clothes, I can't even make cloth. This time I can make a new one. Even if I die, It’s decent too.”

"Xuanhuang Town has really done a good deed. If only we could join Xuanhuang Town. Then, we can all become monks, everyone is strong, and we can go out to fight those fierce beasts. We don't have to be like this now, we can only Just watch."

A number of people continued to follow the process to receive supplies.

When receiving the supplies, a look of joy appeared on his face.

At this moment, on the city wall, Bai Yang and the others had disappeared. Has returned to the village chief's mansion.

This is also the residence of the Bai family. It is called Baifu.

In the White House, in the chamber.

Bai Yangduan sat at the first place. Below are Baihai, Bailang, and a petite but good-looking girl.

At this moment, in the hall, the atmosphere is obviously a bit dignified.

"Second brother, Lang'er, you guys have miscalculated this time. When Xuanhuang Town proposed to donate supplies before, you should accept it, or even try to find a way to get the supplies in your hands first. No matter what, you can't let them personally Let’s start distributing supplies. With this, the hearts of our Baiyang Village will be scattered, and it will be difficult to lead this team in the future.”

Bai Yang said with a serious face.

"Before I heard that Xuanhuang Town was willing to give such a large amount of supplies, I didn't think too much about it. I just thought about getting a large amount of supplies, and my head was a bit confused. It was too late to change my words." Bai Hai was full of bitterness. Said.

"Father, wouldn't it be great to get such a large amount of supplies?"

Bai Xiaoyu said with a hint of surprise.

"It is a good thing to have a large amount of supplies for nothing, and it is also a good thing for the entire Baiyang Village. It can greatly alleviate the various needs of the village. Even for a month, we don't need to be responsible for their food. One month In addition, it can also allow our village to accumulate a lot of heritage, complete more buildings, and become stronger. But our Baiyang Village has lost most of the people's hearts."

Bai Yang said with a wry smile.

The most fundamental difference is who distributes these supplies. If it is given to Baiyang Village, Baiyang, and the Bai family distributes it, undoubtedly, most of this reputation can also fall to the Bai family. But now Xuanhuang Town is directly distributing them. The reputation, and even the popular support, fall on Xuanhuang Town.

One by one, their hearts go to Xuanhuang Town, where is Baiyang Village located?

To put it bluntly, this is buying people's hearts.

Especially in troubled times, nothing can buy people's hearts better than food. In particular, people's hearts are already extremely impetuous, and a little disturbance may cause turbulent waves. If the people's hearts are against each other, it may be difficult to maintain that power.

"Then can't we stop it?"

Bai Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"It can't be stopped. Xuanhuang Township has spread the news to the entire Baiyang Village. Everyone can hear it clearly. It's okay to let them get the supplies now. If we directly stop them, it will be tantamount to snatching them from the people in the village." Food. Undoubtedly, this is to make the people in the village hostile to our Bai family. Accumulating dissatisfaction and erupting in the future will be a big mess."

Bai Yang shook his head and said.

In fact, if possible, he would never want Xuanhuang Town to distribute supplies directly to the people in the village. It's like giving up your roots to someone else. Watching helplessly as the other party wields a hoe and digs the corner of the wall. Can't stop yet.

There is a record in ancient unofficial history.

That was during the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Shen Wansan, the richest man in the world, were best friends, and they were just established in the early Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty established his capital in Jinling. He summoned Shen Wansan and ordered him to offer a thousand ingots of platinum and a hundred catties of gold. When the outer city of Nanjing was being built, the government treasury was in short supply. After the construction started at the same time, Emperor Shen Wansan finished the project and made Emperor Zhu unhappy. Shen Wansan didn't know what to do, so he applied for a reward of one tael per person in the national army, a total of nearly one million taels.

In the end, it led to the disaster of breaking the family and killing one's life.

Why?

It's very simple, Shen Wansan has crossed the line.

Building the city wall is the business of the imperial court, and rewarding the army is the emperor's means of favor. It is the right of kings. A businessman dares to do something that rewards him privately. What is he going to do? Treat the army as his Shen family's.

Only emperors are qualified to buy people's hearts.

You are a businessman who wants to buy people's hearts, what do you want to do, rebel?

Under such circumstances, if Shen Wansan did not die, who would die?

Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, it is impossible for any emperor to be indifferent. This is a move of the emperor's authority.

Now, what Xuanhuangzhen is doing is the same as what Shen Wansan did back then, but the result is completely opposite.

Why, not because of strength. Only those who have the strength are qualified to do so.

This is a blatant conspiracy. On the bright side, even if you know it, you can't stop it. This is the general trend.

Even though he knew that Xuanhuang Town was buying people's hearts, he didn't dare to take any action. Those thousands of soldiers were placed outside, and the people in the village were even more ecstatic, trying to stop them, how could it be possible.
